the way her voice drops when it's just the two of them, confiding in him secrets he doesn't feel worthy of knowing. And then, other times, flashing him a smirk or a wink in the middle of a moment that's just for him, like he's supposed to be in on some joke that's just theirs and he's entirely forgotten it. It makes him feel guilty, even if he can't pinpoint exactly why.

THIS. YES. I wondered, at the time, why she would confide in him, and I LOVE that she treats him as DAD even before he knows. And this babbling, stream-of-consciousness, trying to put order into the mess of verb tenses that are time travel...it IS Rory. Lovely, lovely work. I also love that last paragraph, "ridiculous amounts of running" and "stupidly in love with a time-travelling lunatic"...yes. And Rory LOVING how River annoys the crap out of the Doctor. And the Doctor removing whatever smirk or body part is near River when Rory glowers. I love this.

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I absolutely ADORE Rory, and I love his relationship with River before he knows who she is, the way she confides in him is just brilliantly painful. I really hope we get to see a few scenes between them before the Ponds depart.

Thank you for reading and commenting! ♥
